Great. Kukjin Kim, can exynos use SGI0? It looks like exynos is the

Yeah, EXYNOS can use SGI0 instead of SGI1 :)

Russell, can we apply something like this?

Please feel free to add my ack on following change.

Acked-by: Kukjin Kim <redacted>

When testing coupled cpuidle on Exynos5, I found that sending an IPI
does not successfully wake up CPU1.  CPU1 is in a wfe with interrupts
masked, not a wfi, so an interrupt is not able to wake it up.  It
tends to wake up anyways because the next time a spin lock is
unlocked, often during a timer interrupt on CPU0, CPU0 executes an sev
which wakes up CPU1.  You can see that the IPI is unnecessary by
removing the gic_raise_softirq and replacing it with dsb_sev().

Hmm...could be. Let me check you commented in detail. And if any updates,
I'll let you know.

Thanks for your information.

Best regards,
Kgene.
